Question

While rowing in a race, John does 132 J of work while pulling the oar 0.800 m.

How much force do John's arms exert?

Answer 1

i got u!!! john's arms exert a force of 165 newtons.

Answer 2

Hi there!

`\large\boxed{F = 165 N}`

We know the equation:

W = F · d, where:

W = work (J)

d = displacement (m)

F = force (N)

We can rearrange to solve for F:

W/d = F

Thus:

132/0.8 = F

F = 165 N
